ROYAL APPOINTEES WERE ENDORSED, NOT CHOSEN, LAW PROFESSOR SAYS
THE late King Bhumibol Adulyadej remained a constitutional monarch despite doubts about his role in the appointment of “royally appointed” prime ministers, a public lecture on the late King and democracy has heard.
The controversial appointment of outsider premiers such as Sanya Dharmasakti and Anand Panyarachun was constitutional and the late King had not exercised his power arbitrarily, law professor Parinya Thaewanarumitkul said yesterday.
